The drills are cheaper, and comes in any size you want or need. And the holes you drill are very clean when you clamp them down before drilling. Try it, you'll be surprised how nicely it works.

I like to make oversize punchings for trapwork between the lever arm and the mounting blocks. I clamp the felt of desired density and thickness between two pieces of wood and drill a hole the size of the pivot pin all the way through. This leaves a nice clean hole in the center. Then center my punch in that hole and punch it out in the chosen diameter Oversize punchings here make the lever arm more stable.
